dmarkwick 261 Posted May 24, 2017 So if I make a mission with - for example - the ASR AI mod, something gets written to the mission .sqm file that then requires that addon to be present, even when that addon has no objects in the mission? (Same for the ACE mod.) Why oh why oh why. So if I disable the ASR AI mod I cannot use or edit the mission. That's it. All I can do is make the exact same mission again, but without that mod active. Even though it has no objects in the mission. Manually editing the reference out seems to just screw up the mission in a different way. ".rap encountered instead of =". Tell me it isn't so.

dmarkwick 261 Posted May 24, 2017 OK, so I "save as" and do not binarize :) (I hadn't realised it was even an option there). So I can manually prune it out. But still, why the dependency? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midnighters 152 Posted May 26, 2017 Because there are assets that you have created or has been created in a mission that can't be just ripped away when you remove a mod? Otherwise, you'd load up the game without a mod and your progress is gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But, as I said: Quote Even though it has no objects in the mission. there are some mods that get written to the mission .sqm that don't really need to be there. Example being ASR AI mod. I deleted it from the .sqm, no issues at all. I'm wondering if there's some good reason why (some) addons that don't have any editor object presence become written to the .sqm.

I think you'd be surprised the background information that gets sent with these types of mods. Sometimes it'll setup the mission in the editor for preparation of use ingame Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beno_83au 1369 Posted May 27, 2017 I've been making a mission with some mods and had cba loaded by accident, and although i didn't think I'd used it, when i loaded the mission up without it i couldn't get in. Turns out that by putting a group name on a group icon caused cba to run it through one of its functions without me realising. So I guess that's an example of not requiring an asset for a mission to have a dependency. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
